Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, said he will soon expose N. Chandrababu Naidu, the President of Telugu Desam Party (TDP.)

Jagan said he will soon expose the scams done by Naidu and his Party in the Polavaram Project, during Naidu’s tenure as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

During the AP Budget session, Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “Chandrababu Naidu is misusing Assembly for his own selfish motives. The scams of TDP government will be exposed soon and they will be placed before the public.” He further said, “Why TDP members are creating nuisance on Polavaram? Irrigation minister has been giving an explanation on this matter for the past three days. The Government has constituted an experts committee to find out the misappropriations that took place in the construction of Polavaram project (sic.)”

Jagan Mohan Reddy explained his points and said recently, he visited the Polavaram site. He saw the work was stalled due to the mismanagement of the TDP Government.

He said, “They did not complete the spillway works, later they started coffer dam which too they did not complete. With cofferdam, the width of river Godavari is reduced by 70 %. Now the flood water has to go through the remaining small area.”

Jagan Mohan Reddy also said the work on the Polavaram Project will resume again in November, as it is flood season from June to October in river Godavari.

Jagan also spoke about the contractors responsible for the construction and said the TDP gave contracts to their close ones. He further said there are many scams in the project by the TDP.
Jagan said, “The then government has released mobilization advances to the tune of Rs 724 crores to Navayuga company, without completing any works.”

Jagan challenged Naidu and said he will expose him within 15 days and will get all the details about how much money was siphoned off in the name of the Polavaram Project.

Reddy also promised, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Government is trying to complete the work and supply water from the Polavaram Project by June 2021.

Jagan said this time, the contract of the Polavaram Project will be given to those who will bid lowest in the tender. With this move, 15 to 20 % of the total amount will be reduced. The total worth of the Polavaram Project is Rs. 6,500 crores.

On the other hand, the TDP members denied the allegations. Buchaiah Chowdhary, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of the TDP, said it was the TDP which worked on the Polavaram Project and the actual work was done after 2014, when the TDP came to power.

He said, “71 % of head work construction work was completed during the TDP regime only.”

The matter of the Polavaram Project started after the TDP MLAs created chaos during the Assembly session and started shouting slogans.

The AP Budget session started from the 11th of July and will continue till the 30th of July.

Stay tuned for further updates.
